Now the psychological benefits of working with horses are being
recognised by growing numbers of therapists who work with autistic
children, young people with behavioural problems, adults with depression
or celebrities with addictions.
"The horse is the perfect mirror,
they are very emotional beings; we're only starting to realise how
intelligent they are," said therapy counsellor Gabrielle Gardner, of
Shine For Life, watching the horse dance around his pen at a farm in
Blackstone, a village a few miles north of Brighton.
